The official was stunned.
He wanted to stop her, but he did not dare to.
Moreover, the soldiers behind the Empress were all full of vigor and energy. They were not something that his few subordinates could deal with.
Not only that, even if the Empress had committed such treasonous acts, as long as he dared to lay a hand on the Empress, even if it meant losing a single hair.
The emperor would kill him.
If he didn't stop them, he might still be able to survive.
"I don't know! At that time, this little official had already been knocked unconscious by the soldiers the Empress had brought!”
After the official finished speaking, he left immediately. Out of sight, out of mind. He was afraid that he would be impulsive and do something stupid.
When Zhangsun Wugou saw this, he revealed a bitter smile.
It seemed that his identity was still useful. Otherwise, Chengyuan would not have asked him to help the Great Zhou subdue the Great Tang.
How sad!
Zhangsun Wugou shook his head and collected his emotions. He turned to Li Chengyuan's white-robed army and said,""Go and distribute the food. Once we're done here, we'll go to the next town!”
"Yes, sir!"
Speed was the most important thing in war. The White Robe Army was the number one army in the world, so their efficiency was naturally very high.
Soon, all the people in the small town received the " magical potato."
Under the guidance of the white-robed army, they ate the best food they had eaten in a while, and they felt a sense of fullness that they had not felt for a long time!
After learning that there would be endless potatoes in the Great Zhou, the commoners were even more excited.
The Great Tang did not give them food to eat.
Now that the Great Zhou had generously given them food and even promised that they would not be able to finish eating it, they were naturally extremely grateful and expressed their willingness to go to the Great Zhou.
The first round of recruitment was completed without any obstacles.
The next morning.
When the town official saw Zhangsun Wugou take away all the people in the town, he actually felt his body lighten. The huge pressure brought by the previous grain disaster dissipated with the wind.
Perhaps the Great Zhou was better than the Great Tang?
At least, there was food to eat!
Because of Zhangsun Wugou's extraordinary identity, the recruitment plan was particularly successful. Every time they arrived at a new town, the number of people in the team would also increase by a lot.
Finally, Zhangsun Wugou arrived at the final location.
River State City!
This was the largest town on the western border of the Great Tang, with a population of nearly fifty thousand!
However, this time, Zhangsun Wugou's recruitment plan was somewhat difficult to carry out. This was because there were too many commoners, and she did not have enough food in her hands.
Although the people they had recruited previously had already been sent to the Great Zhou, the food supplies of the Great Zhou had not been sent over.
Zhangsun Wugou could only wait in the town, but he wasn't sitting still.
She still distributed the potatoes in her hands to the people and made them into paste to eat. Although it was not as fragrant as eating the whole thing, it was enough to fill their stomachs.
After all, he had not eaten for so many days.
There were already people who were so hungry that they ate the wall dust and were poisoned to death. There were also people who couldn't stand the hunger and wanted to attack others. Fortunately, they didn't succeed.
It could be said that in the midst of chaos, the potatoes brought by Zhangsun Wugou brought them hope.
Now, they only needed to wait for the supplies from the Great Zhou to arrive, and they would have enough food to go to the Great Zhou!
Similarly.
The prefectural soldiers of River State Capital were also waiting for the Great Zhou's supplies. They could not wait to send away these 50,000 starving people as soon as possible.
If the starving people really started to riot, there would be cannibalism or other terrorist attacks.
It was impossible for the prefecture soldiers to suppress them. After all, they only had a little rice soup to live on every day and did not have much combat ability.
As for the county governor's words about finding a way to save Empress Zhangsun, they completely ignored them.
Putting aside whether they could suppress the unrest, even if they risked their lives to save Empress Zhangsun, if they were injured and had no food to eat, who knew how many pieces they would die.
Now, it was better to save a little energy. He had to be alive to enjoy meritorious service!
It was better to hope that Empress Zhangsun would leave as soon as possible. It would be best if there was less trouble. They might even be able to obtain a portion of the Great Zhou's supplies.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no supply from the Great Zhou.
Instead, an uninvited guest arrived.
A spy from Chang 'an Fortress!
Zhou Bang followed the prefecture soldiers all the way to River State City's County Governor's Manor.
This was his third time here, and he was already familiar with the place.
However, the first two experiences were not very good. One was when Tuyuhun was destroyed, and the other was when the Great Zhou unified the Western Regions.
He had originally wanted to resign from his official position, but because of the food crisis, he was given the mission to investigate the Great Zhou.
In order to provide food for the family, he agreed.
When the Hezhou County Governor saw Zhou Bang, he was slightly stunned. Why was this jinx here again?
He squeezed out a smile.”
"Prefectural Governor! This time, His Majesty sent me here to take a look at the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty and see if it was affected by the grain disaster!”
The River Prefecture Governor's expression froze.
"Zhou Jun, are you really a jinx?" he asked awkwardly.”
Zhou Bang's face darkened. He knew that he was unlucky, but no one scolded him like this. He said unhappily,"Why do you say that?"
"There's no food shortage in the Great Zhou! It was said that they couldn't even finish their food!”
The governor said enviously.
Zhou Bang's eyes narrowed.”
When the governor of Hezhou heard this, he said ambiguously,""I learned it from the Empress!”
Zhou Bang was slightly stunned and asked curiously,""You saved the Empress from the Great Zhou? Or did the Empress escape?"
"Neither!"
The governor shook his head and said in a mocking tone,""The Empress brought food and personally came out to help the Great Zhou subdue the people of the Great Tang. How could the Empress escape?”
Zhou Bang was completely dumbfounded.
Empress Zhangsun helped the Great Zhou subdue the people of the Great Tang?
The absurdity of these words was no different from the sun rising from the west! Or perhaps His Majesty had surrendered to the Great Zhou!
"How is this possible!"
Zhou Bang shouted loudly.
The governor of Hezhou had expected this. He said,""It's fine, I'll bring you to see the Empress, you'll naturally know.”
